Esdras 1
1 Alò, nan premye ane Cyrus, wa a Perse la, pou pawòl SENYÈ a te kab akonpli pa bouch a Jérémie, SENYÈ a te vire lespri a Cyrus, wa Perse la, pou l te voye yon pwoklamasyon toupatou nan wayòm li an, e anplis pou l ta ekri li pou te di:
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 “Konsa pale Cyrus, wa a Perse la, ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye Syèl la, te ban mwen tout wayòm yo sou latè epi Li te chwazi mwen pou bati yon kay pou Li Jérusalem, ki nan Juda.
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'YHWH, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Nenpòt moun ki pami nou nan tout pèp li a, ke Bondye pa li a kapab avèk li! Lese l monte Jérusalem ki nan Juda pou rebati lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la (Se Li ki Bondye), ki nan Jérusalem nan.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of YHWH, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 Nenpòt nan yo ki toujou vivan, nenpòt kote ke li ta rete, kite moun nan plas sa yo bay li soutyen avèk ajan avèk lò, avèk byen ak bèt, ansanm avèk yon ofrann bòn volonte pou lakay Bondye ki Jérusalem nan.’”
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which is in Jerusalem.'"
5 Epi chèf lakay papa zansèt pa yo nan Juda avèk Benjamin, e prèt avèk Levit yo te leve, menm tout sila ki te gen lespri vire pa Bondye yo, pou monte rebati lakay SENYÈ a ki Jérusalem nan.
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of YHWH which is in Jerusalem.
6 Tout sila ki te antoure yo te ankouraje yo avèk bagay an ajan, lò, byen pa yo, bèt yo, bagay yo koute chè pa yo, apati de tout sa ki te bay kon ofrann bòn volonte.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Anplis, Wa Cyrus te mennen fè sòti tout bagay ki te pou lakay SENYÈ a ke Nebucadnetsar te mennen fè sòti Jérusalem pou mete lakay dye a li menm yo;
Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of YHWH, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 menm sa yo Cyrus, wa Perse la, te fè sòti pa men Mithredath, trezorye a e li menm, te konte yo pou Sheshbatsar, prens a Juda a.
even those, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Men kontwòl yo: trant asyèt an lò, mil asyèt an ajan, vent-nèf kouto;
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 trant bòl an lò, kat-san-dis bòl an ajan nan yon lòt kalite ak mil nan lòt atik.
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
11 Tout bagay an lò avèk ajan yo te vin kontwole nan senk-mil-kat-san. Sheshbatsar te mennen yo tout monte avèk moun egzil ki te sòti Babylone yo pou rive Jérusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
